January, as perceived wisdom tells us, is a tough month for Premier League clubs to try and engineer transfers in.

However, Liverpool haven't been shy of making a bold move or two during the winter window, with the likes of Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho all being brought to the club in the first month of the year.

Outgoings in January have also been significant.

Fernando Torres was offloaded for a British record of £50m to Chelsea in 2011, two years after Robbie Keane was sent packing back to Tottenham less than six months after joining for £20m.
